Oy. So that was my week. Exactly how it sounds.

Temporarily we are living with my parents while we look for a new place. Our last apartment had some crazy drama. We moved out as fast as we could which meant staying with family while we search. This week has been full of me being in the car for hours while driving around different cities trying to find the right place. You know what that means right? STRESS AND FAST FOOD. Deadly combination. There were a lot of factors in why I didn't diet this week. Excuses suck and if I REALLY REALLY wanted to, I'm sure I could have stayed on it. But I didn't. Moving in with parents meant eating their food. Too broke this week to buy my own groceries. We have to save money for the next place and rent and deposits and blah blah. So we are broke after that and hours and hours of driving. That meant a lot of pantry food. Pastas, breads, cereals. I feel like crap this Monday. Bloated beyond belief. Ready to go shopping today now that we got paid again.  NOT ready to step on that scale and measure myself. BUT I WILL. Oh and did I also mention it was my husbands birthday this week? That meant cheesecake, ice cream, going out to dinner. I have yet figured out how to make a healthy choice when going out to eat. No one wants to order grilled chicken after a week of eating nothing but. That, I need to work on.

Long story short. I let the hard times stop me from working harder than I already have to. I'm working hard mentally and emotionally. I need to not let that stop me from working hard physically.

Happy note from this week: My 6 month old daughter Genevieve started crawling! So crazy that she is mobile and old enough to be. Time has flown.

Anyways, so here it is. My shame. My repentance. My new week. Which will start off with a morning walk with baby G. It is only in the 60's this morning and after the 110's its been the past few weeks, I'm going to enjoy this.

So that wasn't very fun. My fault, but still not fun.

I'm also a MAJOR Diet Coke addict. Like major.

I think this week it's time to focus more on water. I think that's been a huge factor in my cravings and my water retainment. Shocker right? Soda isn't water? Who knew. I want to try and drink one bottle ever two hours. It sucks how much water sucks after drinking so much soda. Makes me kind of nauseated when I drink it in the morning and a lot of it. But it's something that needs to happen. Common sense. I'm hoping that will be my saving grace this week. I am figuring that next week I will probably gain just from drinking a lot more water, but eventually will lose more once my body realizes this isn't a one time thing. Then my legs will finally be less swollen. WAHOO!

Alright, time to get over how crappy of a week this was and the crappy results. New weeks, GO!
